I think the Mad Magazine spoof where it was stated that American Dad writers dig in the garbage for rejected Family Guy scripts PRETTY MUCH sums everything up. No matter which of the three shows you choose (Family Guy, Futurama, or American Dad), you'll end up agreeing that they're all better than the other crap on TV.
I've never understood people that want a show canceled. I mean I hate a bunch of shows (like King of the Hill) but I don't have any particular desire for the shows to end, since there is nothing forcing me to watch them. If you don't like a show, change the channel and be done with it, but understand that some people probably like that show, and therefore wishing for its cancellation seems selfish. You'd rather thousands not get to watch a show they enjoy so that you don't have to change the channel?

Never liked American Dad. I loved Family Guy before it got cancelled, since it has returned it's been really on and off. Some episodes are really funny while others are pointless and boring.
My favorite show still is South Park (although the lastest season is not the greatest)
I also have a special place in my heart for The Simpsons seasons 2 to 8 (when Homer was just a stupid guy not the inconsiderate obnoxious jerk he has become.)
Signature goes here!
family guy tries so hard to be funny, but isn't. It comes off as tasteless and juvenile.
Family Guy has some golden episodes that are almost The Simpsons quality.
But it also has some completely meaningless episodes, that have no real story, and that just have people being constant idiots. Well, episodes that have a lot of Stewie and Brian, but not a lot of anyone else tend to be funny.
The later episodes of the Simpsons have had some of the same issues, except that there are few bad ones and many great ones (in the earlier all were awesome).
BTW, does anyone know how many have seen each show, how many DVD's have been sold or anything? I 've tried to find out but haven't managed to.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS
Family Guy was funny, the problem with the show is that it doesn't hold up after a lot of viewings. None of the episodes have a central focus and the jokes, which are often quite funny, could be used in any episode.
Not to mention Seth Macfarlane is a piece of shit. Family Guy isn't a bad show, I just don't think it ages well. Admittedly, some of the episodes and jokes are pure gold though.
It doesn't help that Peter is such a shitty human being too. He really gets annoying, and he never has the lovable quality that Homer did. Some episodes I just want to turn the show off because Peter is acting like such a douche.
King of the Hill is hillarious. It can be slow sometimes, but the show is hysterical. I am from Texas, so I probably relate to the show more than most people.
Why has nobody mentioned South Park? It is up there in quality with The Simpsons. The show is often pure genius, and is probably the most unique cartoon to come out in the last fifteen years.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

*Ahem* read a couple of post up.

Ugh. American Dad is horrible and Family Guy is The Simpsons put through a filter and spattered with 80s pop culture references. Meh. Family Guy was amusing for a short time but after the second season or so, I just stopped caring. How many times has the Stewie character been done in the past? 100? 200? 5,000,000? The super-smart evil baby/animal/whatever concept is beyond stale.
Futurama, on the other hand, is head and shoulders above either show. At least the humor tries to be clever now and again.

Of course, I live for Home Movies. So maybe I shouldn't be stating what sucks or not.
No wait! Damn it, Home Movies is brilliant in every way!
